Sadly, the baby bunnies didn't make it. We waited for the mom to come back, but we don't know if she ever did. Every time we checked she wasn't there. Our neighbors were probably wondering what we were looking at all the time, especially once it was dark and we were out with a flashlight! This morning we found one bunny pulled out again and he was very weak. We don't know if he had crawled out of the burrow or was pulled out. We thought maybe she had to pull them out to nurse, but they never looked like they were getting any stronger.
Around 11 we took them to the vet to see if we could get some bunny formula to try to help them pull through, but by the time we made it there they had passed away. The vet said that she thought that they were old enough to be on their own because they didn't have a white mark on the top of their head anymore but they were very frail. She also said that of all the wild animals that rabbits are some of the hardest to try to nurse back to health once they have been abandoned.
The girls drew a pictures for them and we had a bunny funeral
This is a picture of the bunnies the day before they passed.
